Parameters

	Parameter	Parameter		Range of	Default
	Name	Type		Values	Units

	count	numeric		1 through 65535	none
				MINimumMAXimum
				9.9E+37INFinity

	MINimum selects 1 arm.
	When only post-arm readings are specified, MAXimum is computed as:
	524,288 / TRIGger:COUNt, up to a maximum of 65,535 arms . When
	pre-arm readings have been specified, MAXimum selects 128 arms.
	9.9E+37 is equivalent to INFinity.

Comments ∙ Executable when initiated: No

∙Coupled Command: Yes. This command is coupled to the total reading count (TRIGger:STARt:COUNt). An error will result if TRIGger:STARt:COUNt is too large for the specified ARM:STARt:COUNt. See the following table for the relationship between ARM:STARt:COUNt and TRIG:STARt:COUNt.

∙If the count is set to INFinity or 9.9E+37, the ABORt command must be used to return the trigger system to the idle state.

∙If pre-arm readings are specified (SENSe:SWEep:OFFSet:POINts < 0), then the maximum number of arms is 128.

∙When pre-arm readings are specified (SENSe:SWEep:OFFSet:POINts < 0), an ARM:STARt:COUNt > 1 causes memory to be partitioned, and limits to be placed on TRIGger:STARt:COUNt. See the following table for limits.
